Happy New Year 2026 from the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies!
2025 was a year of action and partnerships. With our team and partners, we made many meaningful initiatives possible.
The XVIII Annual Round Table “Holocaust Commemoration and the Ukrainian Society: Heritage and the Challenges of Today”
The XXV I.B. Medvynsky All-Ukrainian Competition of Student Research and Art Works “History and Lessons of the Holocaust”
The XIV Robert Kuvalek Seminar “The History of the Holocaust in Western Ukraine and Eastern Poland”
The Summer School-Seminar “History of the Holocaust in Ukraine: Research, Education, Commemoration” in partnership with the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem.
Throughout the year, international and regional educational seminars, trainings, and workshops were held, including the Ukrainian-Polish training in Lublin “The Holocaust as a Starting Point” organized by the Shoah Memorial (Paris) in partnership with UCHS, and the seminar-school “Learning from the Past - Acting for the Future” together with the Olga Lengyel Institute (TOLI).
A major international event was the joint seminar of UCHS and the Yad Vashem International School for Holocaust Studies, held in Jerusalem.
This year we also launched the online course “How to Talk About the Holocaust with School Students” for teachers of history and civic education.
As part of the project “One Stone - One Life: 80 Stumbling Stones for Kyiv,” four new Stolpersteine were installed this autumn in the Podil, Shevchenkivskyi, Pecherskyi, and Sviatoshynskyi districts. In total, 14 such memorial markers have already been placed in Kyiv to honor those persecuted by the Nazi regime.
Public discussions and publications also played an important role in our work - addressing historical narratives, the challenges of contemporary memory, and responsible historical policy.Announcements
